The Vow

I made a vow to him one night as we were still damp

from sweat and heat, I said, I pledge you my Truth

he spoke of the Nature of Mind

allowing boundary to arise from adoring care of self and other

free from aggression

when there is discomfort or negativity in the dream

the practice is to bring Love to it

I understand the fractured soul, the fragmented psyche

the kind where the mother tries to destroy the child

or the mother kills herself

it makes for a very different kind of life and practice

we take care with the story and positionality
